The Histo Collimator doesn't, but the one from Newcomer does.

	Unless it's changed, it doesn't fit Leicas.

	The literature I have shows that it fits the majority of
Microms.  I
	know they are now the distributor but that hasn't always been
the case.
	The one Newcomer has fits Microms and Leica, I believe.

	        It only fits their microtomes.

	                Jeanine,
	              
	                I believe we have 7 Histo Collimators here and
I've used
	one for
	        at least 5
	                or 6 years and I couldn't go without it.  Using
the
	Collimator,
	        I usually
	                waste less than 10 microns worth of tissue on an
outside
	block
	        face-in.
	              
	                Thumbs Way Way Up on block aligners,

	                Hi:
	              
	                Does anyone out there have any experience with
block
	alignment
	        products
	                such as the Microtome Aligner from Newcomer or
the Histo
	        Collimator?  We
	                receive a huge number of outside blocks and I
adjust my
	block
	        holder
	                accordingly, but others in the group say it's
easier to
	re-embed
	        all
	                outside blocks (Yikes!) and then have every
microtome
	aligned
	        the same.
	                I was just wondering if these aligners work and
if so
	perhaps it
	        could
	                be an alternative for those individuals that
normally
	would
	        rather
	                re-embed than realign.
	              
	                Thanks!
